Busy Enjoying London

I’ve been so busy enjoying London that it’s been hard to keep up with this blog. Every day here feels like the best day of my life. Even the little things – taking the tube to class, the beautiful, old buildings and the diverse people – never fail to make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world for getting to live here.

I can’t believe I’ve already been here for two months. The two months have gone by quickly, but, in a lot of ways, I feel like I’ve lived here my whole life. I’ve traveled to a few different cities – Rome, Madrid, Berlin and Budapest – and every single time the plane touches down in London, a wave of relief and contentment rush over me. Home again.
